Many people resonated with Prince Ming's words, chiming in on the group chat:
Ju Yiqiu: This star beast meat is really good! I feel like my stamina recovers quickly after eating it.
Prince Ming: What a shame!
Meng Huai, after finishing her wash-up, saw the discussion in the group and replied: Is there anywhere to buy this star beast meat?
Meng Huai generally knew about processed star beasts, some of which could be used as materials. She hadn't heard of anyone selling star beast meat before.
Prince Ming knew much more about these things. He said: This stuff can be found in the trading market. They sell whole star beasts, but not many people sell them. After all, ordinary people can't come into contact with star beasts, let alone kill them.
Meng Huai murmured after seeing the message, "Is that so!"
Meng Huai said: Why don't we buy a star beast and try it?
Meng Huai's idea was recognized by many. After all, it was star beast meat! Something no one had ever eaten. Who would dare to eat this stuff!
Li Wei said in the group: Excuse me, are you providing detoxifying pills with the meal? I haven't lived enough yet!
Everyone laughed heartily at Li Wei's message. Some even teased him in the group: Gu Ping: Classmate Li Wei, you can even crack jokes! This is the first time I've seen it.
Li Wei touched his nose to hide his embarrassment after seeing Gu Ping's words.
Meng Huai replied: Of course! But this is indeed troublesome. I'll see if I can research a direct solution.
These students now trusted Meng Huai a lot. They never thought Meng Huai was someone who bragged. On the contrary, anything Meng Huai intended to do, she could achieve!
So, everyone expressed their pleasant surprise: Ju Yiqiu: That would be great!
Gu Ping: Looking forward to it! Looking forward to the star beast meat today, and also for the future!
Meng Huai asked Prince Ming where she could buy star beasts, and Prince Ming informed her about the trading market. Although Prince Ming called it that, it was actually a large online shopping forum. You could place an order for what you wanted to buy on this forum, and there were dedicated delivery personnel who would deliver it, meaning it could arrive in minutes.
Meng Huai directly found the forum and searched for the keyword "star beast." As soon as she pressed the confirm button, she actually found it.
Most of the people who bought whole star beasts were second-hand vendors, who intended to process them themselves and then sell the parts to material shops. Therefore, the price of a whole star beast was not expensive. It was just that the processing process was a bit tedious, and for most people, this process was quite time-consuming.
Meng Huai browsed and chose a shop with a relatively high reputation. She had become much more familiar with common knowledge during this period. Meng Huai selected a pig and a cow: "The meat from these star beasts should taste good!"
Upon seeing an order, the boss prepared to contact the delivery personnel. But when he saw the address: "Imperial Military Academy? Is it filled out incorrectly, or is it a prank! Who would buy star beasts at the Imperial Military Academy?"
The boss didn't believe anyone at the Imperial Military Academy would be a second-hand dealer, but seeing the payment information, it didn't seem like a scam!
The boss had no choice but to open the chat window and inquire: "Excuse me, is the address filled out incorrectly?"
Meng Huai heard the notification sound and opened the dialogue box again. Seeing the boss's question, she was clearly surprised. She replied: "Below the girls' dormitory building at the Imperial Military Academy. It's not wrong."
Although the boss was puzzled about what this person intended to do, since it wasn't wrong, he continued with the preparation. Soon, the delivery personnel came to pick up the goods, and a few minutes later, Meng Huai received a call from the delivery personnel: "Hello, your order has arrived. Please come and pick it up."
"Okay!"
Meng Huai went downstairs and completed the handover of the goods with the delivery personnel. The delivery personnel was responsible for deliveries for that online store and it was their first time delivering to the military academy, which they found quite novel.
"What are you doing with the star beasts you bought?"
The delivery driver looked at the small and thin Meng Huai, and then at the goods, which seemed even larger in comparison to her.
"Buying them to eat!"
The delivery driver was stunned! He quickly said: "Please don't joke, star beasts can't be eaten, it can be fatal!"
Meng Huai didn't answer the delivery driver, she just smiled at him. Seeing Meng Huai's expression at this moment, the delivery driver breathed a sigh of relief: "Classmate, you must be joking with me, right? You must be doing some research!"
Meng Huai said helplessly: "Whatever you say!"
As soon as the delivery driver left, the others also arrived.
Prince Ming looked at the two large packages on the ground and asked: "Are these? They've arrived?"
Meng Huai nodded in response, and Prince Ming said: "That was fast."
Ju Yiqiu looked at the two star beasts and then at the people. She voiced her confusion: "Where... are we going to eat?"
Yes, where would be a good place to eat? Everyone looked at Meng Huai. Meng Huai really hadn't thought about this problem. It wasn't like they were on the competition field anymore, where they could just have a barbecue anytime. This was on campus, and starting a fire casually wouldn't be appropriate!
Meng Huai thought for a moment: "Let's go to the medicinal garden! There aren't many people there, so it shouldn't cause public outrage!"
The medicinal garden. Everyone here knew that the teachers from the research institute had given Meng Huai a plot of land for her to grow some flowers and plants or vegetables. But did the teachers from the research institute know that she was going to eat there?
However, others didn't have any better ideas, so they agreed to Meng Huai's suggestion. They then dispersed, agreeing to meet again in ten minutes. As for Li Wei, he stayed alone downstairs at the girls' dormitory building to guard their ingredients...
"Hey, this isn't quite right!"
"We'll be back soon! Is there anything you want to buy or anything you want to eat?"
Prince Ming patted Li Wei's shoulder and asked him.
That's right, during these ten minutes, everyone said they were going to prepare some more things. Otherwise, they would just carry the star beasts like this, wouldn't they?
Meng Huai returned to her dormitory and took out a large pot from her spatial storage. This was originally a magic artifact that an elder from the Ling Shi Sect had asked her to refine, but she hadn't handed it over yet.
"This magic artifact is finally useful! This magic artifact should be effective for cooking. It seems I can try it out!"
This pot was originally intended to be used as a weapon by that elder, but since it was the Ling Shi Sect, each of them was an expert in cooking delicious food. Meng Huai had put some effort into refining this magic artifact in these aspects.
Meng Huai also packed some seasonings into bags and went downstairs with the large pot. At this time, others hadn't returned yet, and Li Wei was still waiting awkwardly downstairs for them. It was indeed that every girl returning to the dormitory would glance at the boy standing downstairs at the girls' dorm to see what he was doing.
Some even discussed with their companions: "Who is that person? What is he doing here?"
"I don't know. Could he be trying to confess to someone? See the two packages at his feet? They must be gifts! I wonder what they are, to be packed in such large boxes."
"I don't know. Oh wow! What is that giant pot for?"
The two of them were talking as they returned to their dormitory, but they bumped into Meng Huai coming downstairs again. They were even more shocked by the pot she was carrying!
